About 10 years ago we used to offer a great CD by a band called Witsend. The album was called Cosmos And Chaos. After quite a bit of acclaim the long promised follow up album never arrived. With the unavailability of their lone disc the band basically sank without a trace. Arriving in my mailbox the other day was a new CD from the trio now rechristened Syzygy (after another band swiped their name in the interim). It seems that the three members, Carl Baldassarre (guitars/basses/vocals), Sam Giunta (keys), and Paul Mihacevich (drums/vocals) had gone on hiatus to raise their families. Re-energized, the trio has picked up exactly where they left off creating uncompromising symphonic rock in the grand tradition of ELP, Yes, Kansas, UK and King Crimson.
